[Kranic]

Watch Summer Wars guys.

You're 5 years [late] on that one.

 

[Geras]

I still haven't watched Summer Wars. However, if I had time to watch now it I'd use that time to post. But I don't. Glad to see everything's still lively here! I'll probably have some time tomorrow night to post something. Not a Rikuto post, I'm still waiting on SylveonStar, but an Enrique post. Hopefully.

 

[Kranic]

Aidan and Ember are open for interactions now. Ember's not going to be an emo mop now either, so she'll actually be pleasant to be around. I will get a profile out for her soon since I revealed mostly everything I wanted to that a profile would otherwise spoil.


Also for a synopsis of Summer Wars, it's Digimon: The Movie except only Our War Games and without the Digimon. I like it.

 

[Turnip]

Uuuh, Dusk, your double-posting disease appears to be spreading... poor Kranic, the second to fall victim to PC's latest epidemic...

Mind if I post again to see the argument off? (I know Dusk and I are on a posting rampage) If Hono feels like arguing like that again, I'd rather a dual-post. Likewise, if anyone else feels like arguing in that sort of way, same. And if Turnip feels like it, I'll do the same. Also, Turnip's very physically reactive to any kind of contact or nearby physical presence, due to him being a solo player and generally a paragon of twitch reactions, so some kind of notice or just a quick question would be nice. Most of the time, he anticipates things as attacks before he thinks much about it, though he can often stop himself in time.

He's really bad with people

Although, just so you guys know, I think Turnip has finally solved the ultimate mystery.

 

[Satan.EXE]

I'm kind of going along with what goes on between everyone. Lucina getting involved may nullify the argument, though I don't think Hono nor Shiren are going to want Turnip around. That said, I can't imagine Chiitaa not intervening as well for his little sister. and Robin just has to do whatever Lucina does because

 

[ShinyDiamond]

He goes with whatever Lucina decides? No, wrong. He sides with Hono to protect her from Turnip, as he is always willing to lend a hand to the hurt from the cold people.

I'll post just as soon as Kenneth makes his post.

 

[Turnip]

He sides with Hono to protect her from Turnip, as he is always willing to lend a hand to the hurt from the cold people.

But everyone else is cold as well, because it's snowing

Hono needs protection from Turnip...? She's higher level and is the only one so far who's resorted to violence. Frankly, I'm a little worried for Turnip's safety.

Is no-one even a little on Turnip's side? I personally thought his argument was a lot more coherent and logical, even if he is being a bit prickish about it.

 

[disciplish]

I'll post tomorrow- I've been out-of-state and still am, but I'll try to do what I can.

I think people just don't like Turnip personally, even though he is right about the whole letting a murderer go thing. Using the console to fight Kayaba is entirely reasonable as well. Hono is being an emotional little brat.

Oh, sorry. I was thinking of marriage //shotshotshot

As true as that is, she's very unlikely to do anything past bonking him on the head some more; that is, unless he suddenly becomes uber-hostile toward her, Shiren, Chiitaa, Lucina, or... Well, that's pretty much it! muahahaha-- Or anyone innocent, so Robin too (I guess)

It's probably the prickishness. That said, generally you'll find more charisma in someone younger. That, and she's already friends with everyone there (and family, and data-sharing AI) so honestly, the circumstances just don't quite work in his favor in this specific scenario.

Speaking of which, has he actually made a friend yet? Like, actual friends?

This topic is surprisingly controversial. While many would jump to vengeance without a second (or even a first) thought, there are a lot of moral conflicts that go with either choice. Though personally, I'm on the other side of this metaphorical murder-fence. To me, the only reason to ever kill someone is to defend loved ones. While there are still moral flaws (to me, there's really no right answer in this subject; and keep in mind, morality is something that comes very naturally/powerfully to me) it's more of a personal outlook on it. Survival comes at most basic thoughts, and family/loved ones are included. I do see the other side, though. Taking out a murderer would prevent more murders, but then you'd have to live with the fact that you killed someone. As I said, there's a lot of merit to either side.

Hono is actually contradicting herself right now. She wanted revenge for the death of her parents, yet she's talking about how killing a murderer is wrong. She's acting fairly capricious at the moment, but keep in mind she just found out about the death of her family /yesterday IC/. And right before Christmas. To add to this, she's shell-shocked because she just found out that her brother survived. She's prone to a lot of emotional changes through the course of probably the next few days IC. It's also worth mention that at their previous encounter (Hono and Turnip, I mean) she was in a very, very different mindset. Previously she didn't know about the in-game death system in place.

Long story short, sh** got real recently, and she's very unpredictable at times.

... Also, morality and stuff

In retrospect, it's more plain ignorance than being intentionally mean. He just genuinely doesn't understand. Kagome's the only person as of yet on his friends list, but no, he doesn't really have any friends as of yet. Though that depends on how you define 'friend', I suppose. I like to think there's some mutual respect amongst 'the group', though, due to their combined efforts in the boss fight. Unless he wants something from you, Turnip generally only makes effort to socialise with anyone who he respects as a fighter. Unless they're a dick.

Hehe, and yeah, I think I've mentioned before something about the Baldur's Gate kind of philosophy. If there's a law system actually in place, then Turnip's fine to roll with that, but in anarchy, eye-for-an-eye is the only real system for him - just as a rough base, of course.

And yeah, I totally understand why Hono's acting up. Turnip just assumes that people can more-or-less separate themselves from their emotions when forming an argument, which is of course the complete opposite of the truth :P He knows it's sad her parents are dead, sure, but he doesn't understand its relevance to the conversation or even why it would be effecting her right now.

Hence, after his anger, he'll probably be quite confused, a little scared, even, about the general frowning upon of him... does that sentence make sense? Loosely, I guess. I think he must have some kind of bipolar maturity thing going on. On top of the fact that he generally doesn't seem sane or even entirely human, and that he's called Turnip.

Guys, question time:

1. What do you think of this RP so far? Are the IC days too long, too short or maybe even just good enough? Is there too much freedom and not enough story-related stuff? How are the other characters?

2. Who is your favorite character besides your own character(s)?

 

[SylveonStar]

Just wanted to share this real quick, me and my friends over the weekend in our Sword Art Online Cosplays. I'm Yui

Spoiler:

1. What do you think of this RP so far? Are the IC days too long, too short or maybe even just good enough? Is there too much freedom and not enough story-related stuff? How are the other characters?

I like the rp a lot, I feel like the days are good, good mix of freedom and story related stuff. I should be able to post more since things are slowing down for me.

 

[Geras]

Yeah, I know I promised to post Sunday but then I forgot it takes me forever to write. Ideally today, probably tomorrow, if not then hopefully Thursday. But definitely this week. I hope.

@SylveonStar: Woo!!!11!!1!!! Glad to have you back, now Rikuto won't be frozen in time! Nice cosplay, btw, you look pretty good. Love that one dude's cap shield.

@Questions:
Q1. IC days are an ideal length, actually. Of course, Rikuto mostly spends his time in the shop, so I'm not exactly the best judge in that regard. Freedom-wise, I enjoy the creative freedom but I'd honestly like a little more direction sometimes. Today is perfect in that our characters have a set goal, being the boss room (or not if they don't want to), but in times when there's nothing (like after Saito's speech on the first day) you can feel kinda lost. Especially if everyone else is in the middle of some sort of interaction already. On the topic of other characters, I like them for the most part. We've got a decent mix of play styles and personality traits. I noticed there are no villain characters, though. Perhaps I should make one when my activity goes back to normal.

Or maybe I already have... No I haven't.

Q2. I'd have to say my favorite character would have to be Turnip, with Aidan coming in second and Godot in third. Turnip posts are always funny, witty, and usually full of stuff going on, so I'm never bored reading them. Also I like the way he manages to be unemotional yet overly emotional at the same time. Then there's the name Turnip. He may not be as deep a character as others, but I find him by far the most fun.

For Aidan, he seems like the sort of guy you'd wanna hang out with. And there's dat afro. I also like the way he's depicted as having maturity, but it's in no way overplayed and is even contrasted with that of Vulcan letting his own youth and immaturity show. I can very easily imagine Aidan as a real person as opposed to a character.

Note that if I say something about one character it isn't that I'm not saying the opposite about other characters. As in, if I say "Character X is very well written," I'm not saying that all the other characters aren't. Just making sure I don't get a bunch of angry replies clear up any confusion.

Guys, question time:

EVERYTHING IS PERFECT, O SWEET, MERCIFUL GM


1. What do you think of this RP so far? Are the IC days too long, too short or maybe even just good enough? Is there too much freedom and not enough story-related stuff? How are the other characters?

The IC days are a nice length, though it does seem slightly variable in terms of how quickly time is passing at different points throughout the day. A post could be five minutes or five hours. That's just the nature of it, though, I guess, with several different key events happening with... not much in between. Huzzah for timeskips! Overall, the IC days are a pretty cool length. The notice gap for ending is great, too.

Can't really fault the other characters; we've got some great variation here, in pretty much every respect. The only problem is that there are too many female characters


2. Who is your favorite character besides your own character(s)?

DON'T MAKE ME DECIDE! PLEASE! EVERYONE IS MY FAVOURITE!

I'm not really a 'favourite' kind of guy, and considering the aforementioned variety it's hard to say when I like different characters for their different traits. Every character has different things going for them, so comparing them as a whole just doesn't work for me. Shiren's hilarious, Lucina's reliably nice, Rikuto's refreshingly passive, Godot's as caring as anything and Robin's complete inability to operate in any kind of social situation is actually starting to grow on me ;) And Afro Aidan deserves applause for his hairstyle. No question. Just afro.

I'd have to say my favorite character would have to be Turnip

Aww... you really mean that? :8:

 

[Kranic]

... What.

I'm a bit of a latecomer, so my opinion isn't too well founded but I feel like we have a good amount of freedom. I haven't had much of a problem finding direction even though I've been mostly posting by myself. I feel like most of the direction comes from people making their own stories and people making the choice to join along with them, which is pretty good for a rolelay like this. Especially since people have the freedom to unlatch themselves from story arcs or start up new characters without really harming anyone else activity, for the most part anyways.

2. Who is your favorite character besides your own character(s)?

That's a little hard for me since I've mostly skimmed through posts when I first came in, so I have a sense of characters, their relationships, and things that has happened to them, but I haven't really had the opportunity to experience the character personalities in their peaks.

Also, thanks for the compliments towards Aidan. First thing I actually had in mind while creating him was his afro, since he was derived from my last SAO character who's main feature was her Afro, I went out of my way to try and find an animu character with an Afro, eventually finding this obscure japanese psp game called Lucian's Bee, who fit pretty perfectly. The only thing is that most of the images of him were really low quality, so I had to go through loops to find a better quality image. The only place I could find something acceptable was through the games flash website and even then the only way to get it would be through extracting the image from the flash. I tried to teach myself how to extract it, but because the image apparently had to be loaded in the flash itself, I couldn't really figure out how to get it, so ultimately a failed to get the image. Just know, I tried really hard to show off Afroman in all his glory though. Though if you look at my sign up, I did find the image with a red overlay on it, if I really wanted to I could manually adjust the image, but I'm not sure how it would turn out. I wonder of there is someone I could request to do that.

That aside he's actually really fun to write since he can go in a bunch of different directions without feeling out of character. Main theme I have in mind for him is being a big brother, which you could probably see through my posts. You know, I just realized that this roleplay has a lot of familial/sibling stuff going on.

Like Geras said, my only regret right now is that Aidan hasn't really had any opportunity to interact with people, but I feel his solo posts have been good for his development I can't really complain too much. Also I wouldn't have made his whole guild either if I knew Aidan was going to be involved with other characters, so that would be too bad too. I'll eventually meet other characters once they get to the boss room.

I'm actually really excited for my plans for Vigilant Wing's development.

I noticed there are no villain characters, though.

I'm actually planning on adding a villain to my group of characters, but I want to work a bit more on developing my characters before I get to that. So expect a villain sometime in 2016.

(That said expect a new character in the coming boss fight.)

 

[Turnip]

@Kranic - As far as the image thing goes, did you try print-screening the flash thing and cropping the rest out?

 

[Kranic]

The cropped image is actually what I used in my sign up. There's a way to take the image from the flash with a transparent background, but I couldn't really figure out how to download the .swf with the image on it since the flash apparently downloads it while you go through it or something, I couldn't figure it out.

 

[Turnip]

Just posted as Turnip. None can handle my IC regality.

 

[Sapphire Rose]

Genius how Turnip is still trying to find out who's batman.

Guys, I forgot to describe it in my posts but Lucina is wearing her hood again, you know... to hide her gender and stuff? Yeah. that.

I won't forgot mentioning it in my next post.
